    Hi!

    Just happened to see a making of the movie, "The Matrix," and one of the guys, I think he was a visual technician, said
    that the Wachowski Brothers were inspired by an anime film and wanted their film to look like it. Does anyone know
    what this film was?

    Watch the anime called 'X'. The Wachowski's took loads of ideas for the Matrix from this.

    It's more like the Martix inspired the Anime.

    Have a look at the Animatrix.

    The Matrix wasn't a terribly original idea (heck, The Thirteenth Floor, released the same year, takes the same idea and does it better if not
    with as much 3-D bullet time), and I suspect you could find anime that
    did the same thing going back a ways.
